IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
The Oklahoma State University water system has detected chloramine residuals above the maximum level allowed by EPA Drinking Water Standards.
University personnel have detected a violation of the drinking water standards. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.
The University routinely monitors for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results during the months of February and March have shown that the system exceeded the standard, or maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) for chloramines. The standard for chloramines is 4.0 mg/L. Chloramines in excess of the 4.0 mg/l standard were found in several samples with the highest level being 5.1 mg/L. Chloramines are a type of disinfectant used to prevent the risk of bacterial contamination of drinking water.
What should I do?
You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled water) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor.
What does this mean?
This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who use drinking water containing chloramines well in excess of the MRDL could experience irritating effects to their eyes and nose. Some people who drink water containing chloramines well in excess of the MRDL could experience stomach discomfort or anemia.
What happened? What is being done?
Oklahoma State University purchases its water from the City of Stillwater. The water is then distributed through campus by an existing water distribution system. The university has notified the city of its findings and is working to find the source of the problem so it can be corrected.
For more information, please contact Steve Armstrong at 372-5524.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly. You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
This notice is being sent to you by the Oklahoma State University Water System.
